Spin cycle



The White House is going bonkers over Dick Clarke's book. And what's coming out of the administration ain't pretty. Cheney told el Rushbo the other day that Clarke was demoted to the cyberterrorism watch (he doesn't recall when), and no one was really listening to Clarke anyway because he was out of the loop. Problem with that explanation is, Clark was hired as terrorism coordinator by Condoleeze Rice, and only took the cyber job after 9/11, so Cheney admitted the administration wasn't listening to its terrorism go-to guy. Hey, that's what Clarke says!

Granted, we can cut Cheney a little slack since he was speaking on the Rush Limbaugh show, where the truth never gets in the way of a good rant. But still, is this the best Cheney can do? Other Bush insiders are breaking out the big guns (Oh no! Not the ad hominem attack!), and coming up equally empty. Josh Marshall is all over this one.
